Welcome to the bobctl wiki!

Eventually, we wish to provide a CLI and deamonset that transparently hide the bob from an end-user. In this early phase, we will use rapid-prototyping tools/scripts and collect feedback from all sides.

In your own words:

As a piece of software nears publication, it will undergo testing.

A vendor may select a suite of tests with known outcomes as benign behavior or benign traffic , this is defined as functionality, load and traffic that is expected for this software.

A vendor may also have negative tests and/or security tests, that should not occur.

Now, the way to package those tests into automation can be handled differently and the cloudnative world has a few ideologies. We will for now (as we re just getting started) stick to helm. We conducted a survey and 80 percent of the audience used it, we assume those that use other tools would still be able to read helm and understand the idea.
